The story
The Pina Colada is believed to have originated in Puerto Rico in the 1950s, with several bars claiming to be the birthplace of this iconic drink. The most notable claim comes from the Caribe Hilton Hotel, where bartender Ramón 'Monchito' Marrero created the drink in 1954, aiming to capture the flavors of the island.
